Baron Davis intends to return from a partial tear of the patella tendon and complete tears of the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in Game 4 of New York's series against the Heat.

“I don't know how long (for the brace and crutch), but once I am done, it's on to rehab,” said Davis. “I am coming back.”

Davis missed the beginning of the season with a herniated disc would love the chance to come back to the Knicks when he is healthy.

Davis could see himself becoming Jeremy Lin's backup for the Knicks.
